Vintage Vitreous China Toilet Bowl with Brass Flush Inlet – 14⅛" W x 17½" D x 15" T

Description :
This vintage vitreous china toilet bowl showcases a compact, rounded front design with a durable glazed finish and original brass flush inlet assembly. Measuring 14⅛" wide x 17½" deep x 15" tall, the piece represents the classic low-profile form used in mid-century bathrooms and institutional applications. The glaze remains smooth and bright, with typical mineral wear inside the bowl and patina on the brass fitting — both hallmarks of authentic age. This model is well-suited for restoration projects, period-accurate installations, or reuse as a display or teaching piece for vintage plumbing design.
